This Hidden Destination In North Dakota Is A Secret Only Locals Know About

If you want to visit popular attractions in the western region of North Dakota, you can head over to the Theodore Roosevelt National Park and the wild west town of Medora. But if you want to step off the beaten path and discover some of the lesser known destinations, here is one for you to put on your list for next summer! This is a spot only locals seem to know about and yet many more should. Check out the reasons why:

In the small North Dakota town of Alexander, population 223, west of Watford City, most people wouldn't know they had a reason to stop through.

There is actually a great reason to take a pit stop - or even make an entire trip out of it - at Alexander, and that would be their special Lewis & Clark Trail Museum.

This museum has everything to do with the history of North Dakota and of the famous exploring team that went through this region. It covers the history from thousands of years ago - with the petrified wood in the center here - to today.

The various buildings that make up the museum contain hundreds of artifacts, antiques, and other bits and bobs of history that will take you through the decades and let you experience a time since passed.

The Lewis & Clark Trail Museum is a fantastic way to learn about the history of the Peace Garden State and its culture. This hidden gem is a fantastic spot for all ages to enjoy.

Plus, there is great opportunities for fun photo-ops! The museum also hosts various events throughout the season that are fun for everyone.

The museum is a non-profit that runs on donations and deserves more attention. It preserves North Dakota's fascinating history and you're sure to love it.

The Lewis & Clark Trail Museum is only open seasonally during the summer, so put this one on your to-do list for 2018. It's well worth a visit to see why locals love it! The museum is located at 102 Indiana Avenue E, Alexander, ND 58831.
